Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A Hackintosh is a non-Apple computer that runs macOS using compatible hardware and custom bootloaders such as OpenCore or Clover.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple's macOS license agreement. It is generally used for educational and experimental purposes.

Q: What hardware is best for Hackintosh?

Intel CPUs with compatible chipsets and supported AMD GPUs are typically best for Hackintosh. Hardware compatibility is critical for stability and performance.

Q: What is OpenCore in Hackintosh?

OpenCore is a modern bootloader used to boot macOS on non-Apple hardware. It provides better compatibility, security, and system stability than older bootloaders.

Q: Can Hackintosh be updated like a real Mac?

Hackintosh systems can be updated, but updates should be done carefully. Bootloader, kexts, and configuration files often need updates before installing new macOS versions.

Q: Is Hackintosh suitable for professional work?

A properly configured Hackintosh can be stable enough for professional tasks such as software development, audio production, and video editing, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Does Hackintosh support Intel and AMD processors?

Hackintosh supports both Intel and AMD processors, although Intel systems generally offer broader compatibility and easier configuration.

Q: Can macOS run faster on Hackintosh than on a Mac?

In some cases, high-end Hackintosh hardware can outperform older Macs, but performance depends on hardware choice, configuration quality, and macOS compatibility.

Hello everyone,

I've a problem to do the Native Power Management patch to get the PC awake after sleep.

I want to use the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS because this MacBookPro comes close to my CPU.

When I'm trying to generate the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS with CloverConfigurator and inject Nvidia and boot with nvda_drv=1 and add the board-id to GraphicsDevicePolicy.kext. After reboot the apple logo shows up, loader start loading, at the end I get a black screen.

The strange part is that when I generate the MacBookPro8,2 SMBIOS with CloverConfigurator and ONLY change the productname to iMac13,2, inject Nvidia and boot with nvda_drv=1 and add the board-id to GraphicsDevicePolicy.kext. After reboot the mac boots well. But I can't run ./ssdtPRGen.sh because the board-ID mismatch model.

The problem is that there isn't a SMBIOS with SandyBridge and Nvidia.

Hope someone can help me!
